Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?  

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't know if she uses this thread, but I think msbelle uses it for business frequently.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My miserable Vonage experience is recounted here:

Now we have Time Warner's digital phone, and couldn't be happier.

I never actually use my land line. I really just wanted something where people could leave messages for me and I'd get them via email. So, hopefullly, this will work out. I was paying way too much for a phone I wasn't using.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Current or former Konfabulator users:

I really like this, especially because I've become accustomed to the Dashboard on my work computer. But unlike Dashboard, I can't seem to make Konfab disappear completely--if I min all my windows, it's still there, on the desktop. This is screwing with my head, because I like to see the picture on my desktop; it gives me zen. Is there anyway to make it disappear completely, and only come when I command?

All is well that ends in pizza.

If I could fix it myself, I sure would. I hate the disposable society we have. I don't want to add more to the landfill.

hmmmm.... What's wrong with it again?

heh.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Aw, it's too late. I already mailed it in to Konica and I don't think they're going to mail it back unless I pay (although they haven't commenced working on it yet). Plus it'd need parts. They say "Repair to factory specs, repair zoom lens, replace front cover and LCD."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Is $107 a good price for Apple OSX v10.4 "Tiger"?

Are they going to come out with an even spiffier newer OS this summer/soon?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It lists for $129, so yes.

They'll be announcing the next version in June. It won't come out until late fall at the earliest.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm looking at this deal on a Western Digital 320GB Serial ATA hard drive: [link]

At the bottom, it says, IMPORTANT: Because of the time-limited error recovery feature, this product is intended for server applications and is not recommended for use in desktop systems.

Wazzat mean?
